Plans have been unveiled to build the world's largest hotel, which could be open as early as 2017. The Abraj Kudai, will be located in the holy city of Mecca, Saudi Arabia, a city visited each year more than 15million Muslims. With twelve 44-story towers containing 10,000 rooms, the hotel, which is being created by multi-national design group Dar Al Handasah will have a total area of 4.6 million square feet.

Looks like the Venetian in LV on steroids. Sad that Saudis are making Mecca as tacky as LV.

I can support a hole where mecca used to be.
A glassy hole.

I’m actually surprised they didn’t do this many years ago, especially with the issues of housing millions of pilgrims per year to Mecca and Medina.

Obviously trying to emerge
As the Biggest and best hotel since the Burge
But seeing the plans, it gives me the urge
To lose all my lunch in a giant regurge.
